Would you attend a scrapbooking weekend?

I am thinking of starting a scrapbooking weekend retreat business. It would be a service where scrapbookers can stay in a luxury hotel and have 24 hour access to scrapbooking with free make & takes and an on-site store. There would be great meals, treats, prizes, goodie bags, etc. I am wondering if people are interested in this and what price range scrapbookers would pay. So for example, to stay at a 3star hotel, with assigned scrapbooking space (where your stuff can stay the whole weekend) and free make & takes and say 5 meals. What price range would be appropriate? $150-$200 $200-$250 $250-$300 $300-$350+ This includes your hotel room (double occupancy), goodie bag, 5 meals, scrapbooking space and of course an idea/punch/die cut station and 3 make & takes. Your input is greatly appreciated. I am looking at hosting 50-75 people per event.

I think it sounds like a great idea and I think 300-350 is reasonable. Especially if it is a girls trip and they split the expense. My cousins meet in the middle between their two states and stay at a hotel and scrap all weekend and spend some time doing other things. The on site store is a great idea because you always forget something. I think that its a shame that “creative” people on this site can’t think of something constructive to say. If this is your goal then you should go for it. There is no one on this or any other site that can tell you what you should do and enjoy doing for a living. Please let me know how it works out. PS if the rooms are double occupancy then you could as I mentioned above offer some sort of 2fer, more people, more money, more word of mouth. Best of luck!!!
